摘要
Studies on microplastic (MP) pollution in lakes are recent, although the problem of MP particles in the oceans was first discovered in the 1970s. The first study on lakes was published in 2011. Since then, to our knowledge, 98 lakes have been investigated worldwide. In recent years, studies on this topic have increased worldwide, particularly those focusing on urbanised lakes. Most of the plastic waste in the seas and oceans originates from the terrestrial environment and inland waters. Moreover, lakes are potential temporary or long-term MP accumulators, according to the residence time of water. They are also of high interest for biodiversity, ecology, and the economy. Lacustrine ecosystems may suffer the same fate as marine ecosystems, or even worse, owing to their greater exposure. With the significant focus on ocean and sea contamination, contamination of freshwater ecosystems and lakes is a new and rising topic. However, as a new field of research, several methodological issues have been raised. The team diversity worldwide has led to contrasting sampling techniques and materials, sample treatments, analyses, and presentation of results. Consequently, it is necessary to determine several consensuses between scientific teams in order to work together with accuracy, produce comparable results, speed up knowledge sharing and reduce the reproducibility crisis. This review focuses on (1) MP contamination in 98 worldwide lakes. We identify (2) the theoretical sources of MPs and provide (3) an estimate of MP pollution in different compartments of the lakes based on current state-of-the-art methods. In addition, we also report (4) the predominant MP size classes and polymer types. Finally, we suggest (5) several recommendations to build a consensus between all the working teams to facilitate decision-making by public authorities. (c)& nbsp;2021 Elsevier Ltd.
